It may be recalled that PTI had served show cause notice to Faisal Vawda for defying party policy and sought his response in a stipulated time. Vawda had alleged that long march would be marred with “bloodshed, death and funerals.”
During his controversial presser, Faisal Vawda had spoken about Arshad Sharif’s murder and some ‘conspiracy’, adding that “important and common” people’s deaths will take place in the long march, adding that there were “ulterior motives” behind the march to Islamabad.

PTI Sindh President Ali Zaidi had issued a show-cause notice to Vawda, telling him that he had “grossly violated discipline by giving statements against party policies and guidelines”.
“This is in serious violation of party rules as per the constitution, therefore, you are required to submit a reply within two days of this notice stating why your party membership should not be cancelled.”
Zaidi said that until his response, his party membership would remain suspended and he would not be allowed to hold any party office or represent the party in the media.
